This year, we attended the Sizzling Summer Community Children's Party (funded by the Vancouver Foundation) on Saturday (July 19th) that was organized by a friend's friend who applied for the Neighborhood Small Grants. It was held at Clinton Park in Vancouver. I told my husband about it and we drove there right after we finished our errands. They had this event last year, but I missed it because we were away on vacation. This is their 2nd annual Community Children's Party. We made it this year.

The weather was a little bit cool that day. It rained in the morning, but later in the day it started to get better. The sun was starting to peek out when we got there around 2:30pm. The weather held up with some sunshine off and on.

There were games, crafts, free makeovers, food, and lucky prize draws. I love the craft table where we had a chance to make recycled art and flower pots using magazine pages.

The event was well-organized with a group of volunteers. I was happy to see my friends and also met a few new friends. Little one had a lot of fun in the sandbox and playground. They had the BBQ near the playground with hotdogs, salad, appetizers, and snacks to share with everyone and the kids. Everyone had a great time!
